B/O 4600 Hiring Process

[tdevon2012]

I've had that happen to me on the conductor list. It turned out that DCAS sent to many names over to the MTA. For three months I was on an outstanding certification and then I was taken off the outstanding certification. So it does happen from time to time.

Hi my list number is 19# and I receive my letter in March and I went for the drug test and I was told within 3 to 90 days But I called 2 weeks ago and I spoke to Mrs. chestnuts and She told me in August nothing is going on now they up to #34 not #95.

i forgot the number to call, but i called twice in the last couple of weeks. they definitely up to 95. Idk if my understanding is correct but they are looking at 10xx for this year it seems and of that number, they called 95 so far. Terminology is key in all this i believe, they "technically" called somewhere near "200" applicants for drug testing etc etc, because I know someone in the 1xx region that also got a letter. However, I think people that are actually appointed (which i take to mean appointed in the title i.e passing the 10 training and drug test and have actually started working) is at 95.

 

Again I could be wrong and if so please correct me but this is my understanding of it. Also, that 10xx number is what i got at the recording when u call, goes something like "blah blah exam 4600 blah blah 1035 something something, 95 appointed" I didn't pay attention much after i didnt hear the numbers in my regions,

i forgot the number to call...

 

(212) 669-1357

 

NOTE: This phone number is for DCAS (not NYC Transit). So if you want to check on your status for other civil service examinations for other agencies (NYC DOT, Sanitation, etc.), you can use the same number.

Only 55 out of 200 passed in my class, it's not as easy as some might think.

Quick question, why do people hide their list number? Ive seen people post "my list number is 12xx" any particular reason?

If they send letters to the first 200 people in the last four months and only 95 people got higher that's not good the list is moving very slow compare to the list number 3101, I got my latter in March now July.

Yeah, tell me about it. From failing the 10-day training session in February of 2014, I have learned this the hard way. While you folks are waiting, if you want to prepare for this, I posted some "handouts" that my instructor exclusively prepared for his students, which can be found here. Just note that the bus we used can be found

.

 

The reason why we "hide" our list number is to protect our identity. Myself, and other people, have the list for this exam (and possibly others) either physically and/or electronically, and if we reveal our entire list number, they can see our name, look up where we live, etc.

 

Also, this exam has 8,221 candidates. And most of the time, the HR Dept. calls people in groups. Therefore, if your list number is either 9,002 or 9,094 and you reveal your list # as 9,0**, we'll get an idea as far as what list number they are up to.

I passed on day 7 and in line training now almost done in 2 weeks. For anyone waiting I suggest you get your cdl in advance. If you pass the 10 day training on day 10 you have one shot at Dmv. Would suck to pass 10 day training and fail Dmv. Just listen to your instructor, they will have the tools for you to pass. Use your mirrors. Mirrors mirrors mirrors. 4 ft clearance on right side and don't run Any yellow lights. You will be fine if you follow these rules.

That was one of my downfalls, not checking my mirrors every 3 to 5 seconds...

Just out of curiosity, when was your class? A class of 200 seems like alot, especially, as I understand it 4-5 candidates are put on a bus and would suggest there were 40-50 training buses on the road during a two-week period.

I received my employment letter but I have an issue...I've only had my drivers license for a year and a half now. I know there's a 3 year requirement....what do I do? I don't want to lose this opportunity. Could I put my list number on hold and if so how do I do it?
